What are they about?
Gardening for health and wellbeing about sums it up! Their charitable aims are: To advance physical and mental health by supporting people to cook and eat healthy, grown produce; through physical and purposeful activity; and by bringing people together in these activities. To advance community development by provision of a community garden space and encouraging voluntary and social activity, based on an inclusive and mutually supportive approach. To advance education by providing training events and courses in gardening, healthy eating, and environmental activities; and supporting local schools to be active in these areas. To advance environmental improvement by adopting and promoting sustainable practices and encouraging wildlife.

You will work alongside other volunteers, there is always a lead volunteer who will support and teach you whatever you need to know to undertake the tasks that are needing done at each session.
